The easiest way to manage all your freight just got easier with Uber Freight Shipping

Introducing Uber Freight Shipping, the easy-use, free platform for quoting, booking, and tracking shipments.

At Uber Freight, we’ve come a long way. From our earliest days, we’ve built technology to digitize and streamline the movement of goods. In 2018, we launched Shipper Platform, empowering shippers with direct access to our carrier network, a unique blend of owner operators and small fleets. With a few clicks, customers had instant access to create and tender loads, improving the rate and ease with which they could book a shipment. Moreover, the platform connected them directly to carriers using our load matching mobile app. We sought to bring customers a faster, easier, and more reliable way to book freight at competitive rates.

Shipper Platform has been a successful product, supporting our shippers for six years. To date, we’ve moved goods for tens of thousands of customers, such as Hart Print and Fully, through our trusted and ever-growing carrier network of 150+ less-than-truckload (LTL) and 95K+ full-truckload (FTL) carriers. These FTL loads have been hauled and delivered at an average of 95% on-time pickup (OTP) and 92% on-time delivery (OTD).

But as the dynamic logistics landscape has shifted, so have your needs. We’ve grown and evolved alongside you, offering more than just competitive freight shipping quotes, seamless load bookings, and free shipment tracking. Consequently, we are introducing Uber Freight Shipping, formally Shipper Platform, to reflect our expanded capabilities and commitment to meeting your evolving needs.

Growing our commitment to help you save time and money

Uber Freight Shipping is your one-stop shop for quoting, booking, and tracking shipments from pickup to drop-off. Sign up and tender your first load in less than five minutes (That’s about as quick as getting an Uber ride or grabbing a cup of coffee!). Plus, you gain unparalleled visibility with auto-tracking, with 70% of FTL shipments receiving GPS updates every 15 minutes.

The free software leverages even more of Uber Freight’s core technology to continue bringing you an intuitive, lightning-fast, and transparent way to ship goods in the U.S. With 24/7 live support and expanded access to our experienced team of account managers, we help ensure every shipment is taken care of. As a result, 9 out of 10 shipments receive a 5- star rating from our customers — and we’re just getting started.

Scale your growing business with ease  

Considering your ongoing shipping challenges, we’ve doubled down on innovation to help you keep your business moving and growing. We understand there’s still much to be done, especially for shippers who struggle with manually securing freight capacity, particularly those with more complex needs.

Starting today, we’re introducing three enhancements to streamline your logistics, whether you’re moving one load or 1000s of loads.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Integration

You can now fully integrate with a leading ERP provider. By connecting your ERP to Uber Freight Shipping, you’ll be able to see all orders created in your ERP on the platform and turn them into shipments with just one click. More integration options with other leading ERP vendors are on the way.

Rate Comparison with other FTL providers

Our new Rates and Lanes tool allows you to upload and compare your rate-on-file and contract rates with spot rates available from Uber Freight. Additionally, you can also tender directly to your contracted providers leveraging Uber Freight Shipping.
